SPINNING OR TWISTING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 572,659, dated December8, 1896.

- Application filed May 13, 1896. Serial No. 591,883. (No model.)

tached to other whole strands going to the spindle and break them, ortwo strands unite, making a larger yarn.

My invention has for its object to prevent a broken end from fouling andbreaking an adjacent strand, and to do this I have combined separatorswith the usual drawing or delivery rolls, the said separators occupyingaposition between the said rolls and the usual guide-eyes.

Figure 1 in front elevation shows a sufficient portion of a spinning ortwisting machine to enable my invention to be understood; Fig. 2, asection in the line w.

The framework A, bolster-rail l3, ring-rail C, drawing or delivery rollsD, top or clearer board D, roller-stand D and guide-eyes a are and maybe all as usual.

In accordance with my invention I have placed between the front pair ofrolls and the usual guide-eyes a series of separators b, so that in casea strand 0 breaks between the rolls and the guide-eye the broken end ofsaid strand cannot be blown or carried aside, so as to catch on or foul,and thus break down, an adjacent strand going properly to a spindle oradhere to and travel with the unbroken strand, and thus double itssize,which is very objectionable.

The separators are shown as held loosely in position by a staple d,driven into the top or clearer board,the separators hanging between theyarns going from the front rolls to the guide-eyes.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s

The combination with a set of drawing or delivery rolls and the top orclearer board cooperating with said rolls, of a series of separatorsconnected loosely to the upper front end of said board and extended downin front of the said rolls to operate, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN R. MONTGOMERY.
